things you all do for the kids and community service, we never want
to lose that because that is what the NAIA is."

"I was definitely honored to be able to do this, especially against
coach Meyer," said NAIA Hall of \'46amer Al Waller, who coached the
Division II All\_Star's and is at College of the Ozarks (Mo.). "There
was a lot of great talent and it was a fun experience. I think I could
have won a few NAIA Division II national championships with this team.
Being around coach Meyer \_\_ we have been friends for a long time
and I haven't seen him in awhile \_\_ to me, that was the highlight
of the whole thing."
